Through three residential senior housing facilities and the Fruitvale-San Antonio Senior Center, we provide high quality supportive services to over 1000 low-income, monolingual and multi-ethnic seniors aged 50 and older. In February 2004, the senior center moved to a new City of Oakland facility at the Fruitvale Village and expanded its program to serve more Spanish Latino, Cambodian and Laotian immigrant seniors in partnership with Cambodian Community Development Inc.
